2021 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG Pietra Rossa

Pietra Rossa comes from the family’s vineyard in Salarco Alto, and it shows straight away. The nose takes its time opening up...wild berries, camphor, dried herbs, a bit of leather, and a subtle spice running underneath it all. On the palate, Morello cherry and wild raspberry lead the way, with truffle and star anise giving it this earthy, savoury depth that keeps pulling you back in for another sip.
